CDX, all I can say is you assume many things not founded in a bit of RF theory. Now implying that the matching network or feed system is responsible for 2 db. Sirio told you all the information you needed to determine it's gain. 2 db without an "i" at the end or a specific reference such as "over a 5/8 wave" means 2 db over a dipole. Basic antenna theory. The 1/2 wave dipole needs no matching or fancy feed system. Adding one will surely not increase it's gain.


Your insistency to see the active file on this antenna amounts to nothing more then implying I've been untruthful. Something I'm not even willing to entertain if the real goal is to have a relative discussion about how this antenna works. No offense intended but to me this is like casting more pearls to swine. If you assume you have more knowledge about this antenna you are asking questions about then the people who make a living working to perfect it's design, my time is wasted.
